Built right on an active fault line. Real smart...AND rebuilt in the same place!!!
First contractor I worked for when I got in the IUOE was doing that job. One of my workmates that was working it told me years later that that quake and insurance payoff got our employer out of the red and into the black, budget-wise on that job :rolleyes:

Took Decades to finish that interchange...
 
It took Indiana 50 years to finish Interstate 69 from Evansville to Indianapolis
This was completely closed down. Over a 100 mile detour, thru the desert, for about 8 years. This is on I 5!!!!! At grape vine.....LOTS of traffic....
 
Interstate 5 (I-5) and California State Route 14 (SR 14) meet at the Newhall Pass interchange, also known as the 5-14 Split:

A guy got in touch with me today and wants me to do some paintless dent repair on his new Tahoe. I don't know if I can do it anymore but I told him I'd try. Sucks getting old and I lost my steady hand and eyesight.
